| JHU MP challenges expulsion by Wasantha Ramanayake Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) parliamentarian Ven. Aparekke Pemananda Thera challenged his expulsion from the party before the Supreme Court yesterday. Petitioner Ven. Aparekke Pemananda thera cited the JHU, its leader Ven. Ellawala Medhananda Thera, General Secretary Patali Champika Ranawaka, Election Commissioner Dayananda Dissanayake and Parliamentary Secretary General Priyani Wijesekera as respondents. The petitioner stated that he was informed by a letter dated August 18 that the JHU Central Committee had decided to expel him from the JHU on the basis that he acted in violation of the party constitution. The petitioner stated that the decision was illegal and had no force since the JHU had no constitution. He claimed that he was only a member of the 'Uttaritara Sanga Sabha', and was not a member of the party. The petitioner sought to determine the expulsion to be void and sought to continue as a Member of the Parliament. Attorney-at-Law W. Chamindha Sanath Wijewardane filed the petition. |
